vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Ignoring private forum's posts in the statistics

Cable_Player · #1 05-18-2012, 06:58 PM

Hello,
I've been running phpBB for a few years now but...

On phpBB you can turn the post count incrementer off per forum/user, so when a user posts their post count does not increase. This is great for private/staff forums.
However, the statistics on the index page are not affected - you could have 5 posts in public forums and 100 in staff forums, but it would show 105 in the statistics.
I wrote a bit of custom code that would tackle this - if I want a forum ignored from the statistics I simply add the forum ID into my custom code.

I know you can turn the post counter off, but my question is:
Is there a modification/is this automatically done in vB 4? (Private forum's stats being ignored from the overal statistics). If not, would it be relitavely easy to apply a custom code? I had help writing my one for phpBB but would not be able to write another for vB.

thanks.
